Unwire Your WAN: 5 Strategies for the Cloud, IoT, and Beyond

In today's digital landscape, organizations are grappling with the challenges of connecting a growing number of cloud services, IoT devices, and mobile users. Traditional wired networks often struggle to meet the demands for broader reach, increased diversity, and operational flexibility. This white paper delves into the transformative potential of wireless WANs, built on 4G LTE and 5G technologies, to address these challenges.

The paper outlines five key strategies for deploying wireless WANs:

  1. Enhancing Network Failover: Ensure uninterrupted operations with seamless wired-to-wireless failover and out-of-band management capabilities.
  2. Augmenting Network Bandwidth: Aggregate multiple links, including wireless, to boost bandwidth and support critical applications.
  3. Making Wireless the Primary Link: Embrace the agility and reach of wireless connectivity for temporary locations, branch offices, and scenarios where wires are not feasible.
  4. Expanding IoT Capabilities: Leverage wireless WANs to securely connect and manage various IoT devices, from video surveillance to industrial controls.
  5. Boosting Business Mobility: Empower your workforce with reliable connectivity on the go, enabling real-time data collection, remote diagnostics, and enhanced productivity.

By adopting these strategies, organizations can unlock the full potential of wireless WANs to achieve greater agility, diversity, and reach at the network edge, paving the way for successful digital transformation initiatives.
